Orion Funded: Best day rule before a reward

On Orion Zero and Orion Nova funded accounts, your single best profit day cannot be more than 20% of the profit in the reward cycle. Until it is, the request is not allowed. It does not apply to Standard, Swing or Select.

Orion Funded: Two minute news window on funded accounts

On funded Nova, Standard and Select accounts there is a 2 minute window before and after any high impact event in which you cannot open, close, modify or place stop orders. Profit from a breach can be adjusted, deducted or voided, and repeated breaches deactivate the account.

Orion Funded: News trading as a strategy is banned outright

Separately from the 2 minute window, trading the news as a strategy is prohibited on every program and in every phase, including the evaluation where no window applies.

Orion Funded: First 3% of profit is not withdrawable

On Orion Zero and Orion Nova, the first 3% of profit is held as a buffer and cannot be requested as a reward.

Orion Funded: Expert advisors capped at 2,000 requests a day

An EA or robot that generates more than 2,000 server requests a day, counting orders opened, modified or closed, is not permitted.

Orion Funded: Gap trading around closures

Opening trades specifically to exploit price gaps around major news or within 2 hours of a market closure lasting 2 hours or more is a forbidden practice.

Orion Funded: Daily loss is measured on live equity

The daily loss limit is checked against real time equity, so floating losses on an open trade can breach it before you close anything. The baseline is the greater of the previous day closing balance or equity, and it resets at midnight UTC.

Orion Funded: Nobody else may touch the account

Trading an account for someone else, or having someone else trade yours, is a forbidden practice, as is holding opposite positions across connected accounts or accounts at other firms.

On Orion Zero, a trade opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high impact release is paid at 50% instead of 80%.

Cycle

Every 14 days. No waiting period before the first request: you can ask as soon as you are in profit with no open positions.
Orion Zero and Orion Nova hold back the first 3% of profit, which is not eligible for a reward request.
Orion Zero and Orion Nova also hold the best day rule: one day cannot be more than 20% of the cycle profit, or the request waits.

Scaling
